Do you remember a time when peer pressure made you do something you knew you shouldn’t? It may have been a long time ago, it may have been just this past week.
We as believers and the Church face many pressures every day. How do we as apprentices of Jesus handle the pressures that we face each day and stay rooted in the truth of God’s word?
This week Pastor Joe Groeneveld has a message from the book of 3 John where we see that even then pressures were present. Please grab your bible and join us as we are encouraged with practices we can use to keep our feet firm.

What is Shalom? Rev. Neil Plantinga gives this definition: “Shalom is much more than peace of mind or the ceasefire of enemies, it is described as universal wholeness and delight, and reigning over all is the earth’s Creator and Savior who opens doors and opens hearts and welcomes all of us as children of God.” Wow!
The theme of our service this week is Peace, what the prophets called Shalom. Rev. Bernie Bakker is sharing God’s word from the text of Matthew 5:9: Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called Children of God.
As Christ followers we are called to be peacemakers and to work at reconciliation and restoration….which may be costly. Grab your bibles we also will be studying 2 Corinthians 5: 11-21, we hope you can join us.

The law of Entropy is defined as the quantitative measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
Not sure what this has to do with living the life as a follower of Jesus?
Rev. Bernie Bakker is stepping up to our virtual pulpit this week and invites us to do some delving into the book of Proverbs for some answers.
Know yourself, recognize the condition of your heart…stuff will not provide a foundation for life….we hope you are able to join us as we ponder all this and what Pastor Bernie calls advice for soul richness. Proverbs 27:23-27, grab your bibles and just click the link below.

A fingerprint is used to identify, DNA even more so. Other ways we are identified in this world may be by our family of origin, our culture, our appearance, or status. But if you were asked what is your identity in Christ? What would your answer be? A positive outcome of this pandemic is the opportunity to rediscover our attitudes and priorities and “who we are in Christ” and “what we have in Christ”.
We welcome Pastor Shawn Ketcheson back as our guest preacher. Grab you bible we will be reading from Philippians 2:5-8. We hope you can join us.

Today we celebrate Mother’s Day. Would you agree with the saying: “What happens to your child, happens to you”? So true, isn’t it? So what do you do when your child is ill, or rebellious, or one day walks away from faith, never to return? Tough stuff! In today’s message the women in the story whose child is ill had to pass numerous tests (including the sense of divine silence, doubt and discouragement) prior to blessings.
She ultimately experiences God, through Jesus Christ and we can too. We welcome Pastor Shawn Ketcheson as he shares the message from Matthew 15: 21-28, so grab your bible and please join us.
